Muscle Stem Cells, Volume 158 in the Current Topics of Developmental Biology series, showcases recent advancements in the field. This new volume presents captivating chapters on diverse topics related to muscle stem cell dysfunction in rhabdomyosarcoma and muscular dystrophy, model systems employed to study muscle stem cell function, muscle stem cells in growth and maintenance, molecular regulation of myocyte fusion, the creation of a self-made quiescent niche for muscle stem cells, characterization of the muscle regenerative environment, the role of the microenvironment on muscle stem cell function in health, adaptation, and disease, the vascular niche for muscle stem cells, regulation of muscle stem cell polarity in health and disease, and numerous other timely topics.

Additional chapters delve into the circadian timing of satellite cell function and muscle regeneration, the regulation of muscle stem cell activity through translational control of gene expression, the impact of biomechanical stress on modulating muscle stem cell function, cross-talk between cell types in regenerating muscle, the effects of the immune system on muscle regeneration, the consequences of diabetes on muscle stem cell function, and other important subjects.

This comprehensive volume provides a valuable resource for researchers, scholars, and practitioners in the field of developmental biology, muscle research, and regenerative medicine. It offers a comprehensive overview of the latest developments and insights into muscle stem cell function and its implications in various contexts.
